Online polls are simply a snapshot of how people are feeling at the moment. A lot can happen between now and March 12, and there is no certainty that anyone voting online will actually show up to the ballot booth. What it does show is the sentiment of people who live in or care about Fall River. Unfortunately, while being very vocal on social media, most people do not vote in Fall River elections.

A similar poll was conducted on Recall Fall River, the official social media page dedicated to recalling Jasiel Correia and their results show 61% in favor of recalling him, 39% against.

In my opinion, that adds vaility to our poll of a tightly split electorate – if a page dedicated to the recall gets 61% support, then 50-50 seems very resonible.
